Infact, size of LA can be optimized to create a balance between the LA update rate and expected pagingrate within LA. To get optimal result for LA planning in cellular network simulated annealing algorithmis used. Simulated annealing give optimal results in acceptable run-time. %K Location Area %K Location Update %K Base Station %K Mobile Station %K Base Station Controller %K Mobile Switching Center %K Simulated Annealing %U http://airccse.org/journal/graphhoc/papers/0310jgraph1.pdf
